BIOGRAPHY
Mr. Dunham was born in Northfield, Vermont, and during the Civil war served as captain of a company in a Vermont regiment, and was afterwards one of Governor Carney's staff. He was subsequently in business in Pennsylvania for a few years, going from there to Chicago, Illinois, where his business was burned out in the fire of 1873. Returning then to Vermont, he located in South Barre, where he was first engaged in the milling business, and later in the granite business, in which he continued until his death.
